Abstract

Class II malocclusion is one of the most frequent problems encountered in orthodontic. The most common characteristic of Class II malocclusion is mandibular retrognathia rather than maxillary protrusion according to McNamara. Non-growing patients with Class II mandibular retrusion are mostly treated with fixed functional appliances. This article represents two case reports of Class II division 2 malocclusion cases treated with Forsus Fatigue Resistant Appliance after initial levelling and alignment. Forsus Fatigue Resistant appliance in particular when used in conjunction with full bonded fixed appliance facilitate the correction of Class II Div 2 malocclusion by skeletal and dental changes.
